BUSINESS BRIEFS: First Federal donates $10,000 to Boys and Girls Club . . . and other items

PORT ANGELES — First Federal Community Foundation presented a $10,000 check to the Olympic Peninsula Boys and Girls Club in support of the 2015 Summer Lunch Program.

The program provided 17,840 free, nutritious meals and snacks throughout the summer months at 10 locations in the Port Angeles and Sequim school districts.

“The results speak for themselves,” said Karen McCormick, executive director of the foundation.

“With the Summer Lunch Program, the Boys and Girls Club clearly made a difference for the youth of our community.”

The Summer Lunch Program distributed meals to underprivileged youth at three locations in Sequim and five in Port Angeles, in addition to the Boys and Girls Club facilities in both communities.

“When school’s out, the Boys and Girls Club provides summer meals to those who need us most,” said Mary Budke, executive director of Olympic Peninsula Boys and Girls Club.

Kyle Zimmerman, co-owner of The Hub at Front and Lincoln streets in downtown Port Angeles, adds a new coat of paint on Wednesday to an advertising sign on the back of his building that was uncovered during the demolition of a derelict building that once hid the sign from view. Zimmerman said The Hub, formerly Mathews Glass and Howe's Garage before that, is being converted to an artist's workspace and entertainment venue with an opening set for late May or early June. Although The Hub will have no control over any new construction that might later hide the automotive signs, Zimmerman said restoring the paint is an interesting addition to the downtown area for as long as it lasts.
